I thought I would give you all a rest from my usual ramblings, and with a bit of arm-twisting our President Kate Bennett has allowed her quirky (as only Kate can do!) Annual Report presented at this month’s Annual Meeting to be reproduced here.
PRESIDENT’S BOARD GAME
Throw a 6 and we’re off to supper at The Boot,
It’s a 3, let’s plant those ‘hanging braskets’
(and have the obligatory tea and biscuits.)
You’ve a 4 – climb the ladder, time for lunch at The Plough
Throw a 5 – no coffee morning this month.
My turn, Oh just a 1 – must put my name badge on!
I’ve thrown a 2, down the snake to committee with Gill,
2 again and you’re off to Centenary Committee with Sue
(with the obligatory tea and biscuits.)
Throw a 6, let’s lunch at The Royal Oak
A double 6 – jump on the canal boat.
It’s a 3 – enjoy the cream tea.
Your turn, Oh just a 1 – stack your chair when you are done!
I throw a 5, up the ladder to Christmas Coffee at Carol T’s,
A double 6 for Sharon King – the Easter Party a huge success with added bling!
A 6 AGAIN – and off we go to walk and chat a mile or two.
Then a 3 is thrown and on the coach to trot around Syon House
(with obligatory tea and biscuits)
My turn, a 4 and down the snake we go for breakfast at The Hawk,
Your go – Oh no not another 1 – you really must put your name badge on!
You’ve thrown a 4 – Another lunch – surely No, No, No, No MORE!
A 6 for me – the Queen is 90 so time for a bit of a Party.
5 you’ve thrown – It’s Fabulous Faberge
Lynne throws a 3 and The Lion is booked for a soiree
Chris throws a 6 and climbs up the ladder to join the committee
(with obligatory tea and biscuits)
You again – please throw a 1 and stack your chair before we’re done.
Cecilia throws a 5 and Freda and Barry come to sing live.
Aileen slides down the snake – but she really makes those minutes quake.
Whilst Colleen throws a double 6 – she’s always there to sort and fix.
Another year over, perhaps I’ll do another one?
(Tea and biscuits here I come!)
Where is that broom?
A Presidents job is never done!
Who am I?
Oh, I really must put my name badge on!
Weather permitting, next month we will be visiting a few gardens in the centre of the Village. Following our venture outside we will return to the Village Hall for business and refreshments. Visitors are still welcome – please come along to the Hall by 7.30 p.m. This is a good evening to try us out as there will be time to chat as we traverse around these delightful gardens.
